“The issue of comparative performances can be regarded as settled to-day, both scientifically and practically. Though differences in attitudes between men and women still form a favorite topic of drawing-room conversation ... women's abilities are no longer seriously in doubt.

“Suppose someone sits down where you are sitting right now and announces to me that he is Napoleon Bonaparte. The last thing I want to do with him is to get involved in a technical discussion of cavalry tactics at the Battle of Austerlitz.

“It requires greater courage to preserve inner freedom, to move on in one's inward journey into new realms, than to stand defiantly for outer freedom. It is often easier to play the martyr, as it is to be rash in battle. Strange as it sounds, steady, patient growth in freedom is probably the most difficult task of all, requiring the greatest courage. Thus if the term "hero" is used in this discussion at all, it must refer not to the special acts of outstanding persons, but to the heroic element potentially in every man.” IfsMenPersonsPlayMovingUsedDifficultSoundGrowthTermCourageGreaterJourneySpecialStrangeHeroEasierBattleElementsTasksPatientEvery ManPreservesDiscussionRealmsSteadyHeroicInwardMartyrOutstandingDifficult Tasks Book:Man's Search for Himself Source: Man's Search for Himself
